HOW TO PREPARE FOR WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
Website development is a very laborious process. You cannot treat it as horrible, because the site represents your company and must inspire confidence from a potential client. Therefore, this process must be approache responsibly.
But before we talk about the necessary materials for the development, let’s discuss generally and understand the importants of website development for any company. We have identified three main features on which it is time to think about the development of the site.
- You are launching a new project that you are planning to scale in the future. That is not just a showroom on Instagram, but a potentially large company with expansion to the whole country both abroad. In this case, only social networks account can not do this and this approach is not presentable for large businesses so therefore you need a company website.
- Your current site does not sell. Yes, it is regularly visited by a decent number of people (let’s say), but there are no more applications from this. The number of failures is growing, and the goal in the form of “Fill out the feedback form” is not achieved. This is an occasion to think and start to change something.
- You come to the corporate mail offers to develop sites or recommend to do it employees. In our opinion, this is a critical case. That is, everyone already understands that your site is lacking, except for you. This is not even a bell. This is a necessity.
Okay, you still understand that you need a website. Found a company. But do not rush to send an application. Prepare for this process so that when meeting with the agency you do not delay the whole procedure of creating the site.
What you need to do before ordering the development of the site
- Understand your audience
This is a serious issue. Very often, company executives do not understand who they work for,what pleases the client and why the client chooses them. All these questions need to be answered, to make a detailed portrait of the consumer. The development team needs to know how to make a site that meets the needs of your audience. This also applies to the structure of the site, and its content.
- View competitor sites
If a client does not come to you with his need, it means he goes to competitors. Look at their sites, put them in one table and write in a separate column what you like and don’t like. Mark some interesting chips. This information will help the team understand what you are aiming for.
- Think over the structure of the site
Not necessarily her direct detail paint. Just understand what should be on your site. What will be the sections, subsections, do you need reviews and you want a gallery in the form of a separate page or a slider. We will accept your wishes and we will understand what you want. But we, most likely, will make our own adjustments so that the site is top-rated.
- Prepare immediately a separate document with a price and description of services. Here, it seems, there is no need to explain why it’s needed.
- Prepare contact information
All data necessary for the client: telephone, mail, address, links to social networks, instant messengers.
- Text and photo content
Of course, we can additionally write all the texts for the site or make a photo session. But you know your business better than us and you can describe certain complex processes for the consumer.
- Logo and Identity. Ideal if you have a brand book or guideline. We will design the site in the same style so that your company is recognizable. What is it you and your company.
Now that you have everything you need, you can send a request to develop the site and run this process. And we will be happy to help you with this.
